MediaImporter

Copies photos and videos from a source location, such as an SD card, to destination photo and video directories, organizing the files by date. Gets the date the photo/video was taken, uing EXIF data if available and the file creation date if not, and copies the file to a year and date directory within the appropriate destination folder. E.g., if a photo was taken July 4, 2020 and the destination photo directory is c:\photos, the file would be copied to c:\photos\2020\2020-07-04.

Files that are photos or videos are determined based on the file extension matching an entry in PhotoFileTypes or VideoFileTypes of the config. The default value for each of these can be modified to add or remove file types.
